Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Job 23
⁵ "I would learn the words which He would answer, And perceive what He would say to me.
⁶ "Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No, surely He would pay attention to me.
⁷ "There the upright would reason with Him; And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
⁸ "Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
⁹ When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.
¹⁰ "But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
¹¹ "My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside.
¹² "I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
¹³ "But He is unique and who can turn Him? And what His soul desires, that He does.
¹⁴ "For He performs what is appointed for me, And many such decrees are with Him.
¹⁵ "Therefore, I would be dismayed at His presence; When I consider, I am terrified of Him.
